Well the antenna circuit on your set is double tuned. It has two antenna coils. http://www.nostalgiaair.org/Resources/192/M0040192.htm
We where looking at #3 but should have a look at #7. Check it for continuity.
One other possibility is that the first rf stage it is misaligned. It's not a tube issue.

ps Philco didn't make any sets before 1929 or so.
When my pals were reading comic books
I was down in the basement in my dad's
workshop. Perusing his Sam's Photofoacts
Vol 1-50 admiring the old set and trying to
figure out what all those squiggly meant.
Circa 1966
Now I think I've got!
